• Key: STDCXX-855
• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Priority: Critical
• Assignee: Unassigned

• Component/s: Utilities
• Affects Version/s: 4.1.2, 4.1.3, 4.1.4, 4.2.0
• Fix Version/s: 4.2.2

Description

Tests that exercise locales encoded in UTF-8 are timing out (and are being killed with SIGHUP) in nightly builds on many platforms. See the list below for examples of the affected platforms and build types.

• with IBM XLC++ (all versions) in most debug and some optimizied builds
• with HP aCC 3 in all build types
• with HP aCC 6 in debug builds
• with Intel C++ on Linux in some (mostly wide) debug builds
• with gcc 3 on FreeBSD, Linux, and Solaris in debug builds
• with SGI MIPSpro on IRIX in all builds
• with Sun C++ (all versions) in debug builds

The run times for the currently scheduled UTF-8 locale tests in a 15D gcc 4.1.1 build on a Fedora 8 running on 2.40GHz Dual Core Intel 6600 processor:
